Description and Table of Contents
Description
Shyness is a universal experience. Incorporating the many different concepts that refer to such experiences under the broader construct of 'social anxiety', Professor Leary performs the unique service of integrating the widely scattered, diverse literature dealing with the topic. He examines both basic and applied research, and presents timely recommendations for assessment, treatment and research. An important resource for researchers and practitioners; and an excellent supplemental clinical psychology text for the growing number of courses dealing specifically with integrations of clinical-counselling and social-personality psychology. It is an intriguing scientific examination of the experience of shyness.
`This is a very good introductory text to the psychology of social anxiety. It is clearly written and would be of value to students of social and abnormal psychology. The worth of the book lies in its broad perspective and success in achieving its aim of providing an integrated review of diverse bodies of research in the field of social anxiety.' -- British Journal of Psychiatry, November 1984
`...a book in which information is clearly presented and readily accessible...this book should prove to be useful to the researcher interested in this field and to...clinicians.' -- Behaviour Research Therapy, Vol 23 No 4, 1985
